Time 13h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs chicken thighs
1 1/4 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon hot chili pepper, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon peppercorn, cracked

Steps:

  • At least 10 hours before serving place chicken pieces in a large locking plastic bag.
  • Add vinegar, salt,minced peppers (I use Hawaiian Tabasco peppers, but you can use any medium hot pepper like jalapeno, serrano, or bottled yellow hot peppers),and minced garlic to the bag.
  • Seal the bag and mix well. Place bag in the refrigerator on a flat surface. Marinate, turning every 2-4 hours to season well. Marinate for 4-8 hours or overnight.
  • Three hours before serving, Heat oil in a heavy dutch oven; brown chicken pieces on all sides.
  • Add water, bay leaf, and cracked peppercorns. Reduce heat and simmer for one hour until chicken is tender. Add more water if needed to keep chicken from sticking.
  • Pork: Cut pork butt into one inch cubes. Add enough water to just cover the meat. Simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until meat is tender. During last 1/2 hour of cooking, add peeled and quartered potatoes and cover with meat juices.
  • Fish: Use a firm fleshed fish Iike tuna steak. After marinating fish, saute fish in oil until done, about 3-4 minutes on a side, be careful not to overcook. Season to taste. Omit last part of recipe.
